My parrot is throwing up clear liquid. What's wrong and what to do?

Thanks for including the picture of Kiwi. It seems like Kiwi is regurgitating. Parrots can regurgitated for multiple reasons: food sharing, stress, eating something noxious, ingestion of something toxic or due to infectious or metabolic illness (kidney, liver, etc.). With food sharing, they rarely shake their head and spray it everywhere. One of the other more common causes is eating items with lead or zinc, two soft metals, that affect the vomit center to cause the regurgitation. You'll have to investigate the environment and search for anything Kiwi might be chewing on. If you think that is the case, a visit to the veterinarian should provide a means of confirmation (radiographs) and then the treatment has a fairly good prognosis as long as it is caught fairly early. Providing heat support for an environment around 85-90 degrees will help to stimulate his immune system. But if he continues to regurgitate or become lethargic or anorectic, you need to visit your local avian veterinarian.

Vomiting in birds can be caused by various diseases, the most common would be bacterial and fungal diseases. it could also be a foreign body ingestion. if the vomiting carries on i strongly recommend that you take Snow to an avian vet specialist in order to get it checked and treated.

Thanks for reaching out about Zinnia. Regurgitation can be caused by inhaled or ingested toxins (plants, paint, zinc, lead, etc.), metabolic problems (liver or kidney disease), infectious agents, gastrointestinal foreign bodies, just to name a few. A veterinary visit is recommended soon as when they are regurgitating, they are not digesting food. Good luck.

Vomiting is a very concerning issue, and if Cutie is unable to keep any food down, is losing weight, or is otherwise showing other signs of illness, seeking veterinary care ASAP (and separating her from your other birds into a hospital cage) is best. Infections, GI issues, parasites, crop issues, etc can all be possible causes.

Thanks for reaching out about Monu and including photos. Regurgitation can be caused by many thing such as ingestion of foreign material (plastic, fabric, wood, etc), toxic ingestion (lead, zinc,plants), metabolic disorders (liver, kidney), infections and several viral diseases. Each of these have different means of diagnosis and possible treatments, therefore a veterinary visit is recommended. Chronic regurgitation can lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, malnutrition, and more, making a veterinary visit even more expedient. Try offering small amounts of food and water, more frequently to decrease possibility of regurgitation. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Pudgie. Regurgitation can be behavioral but also possible illness such as metabolic disorders (liver, renal), toxicities (zinc, lead, plants, etc.), crop infections or impactions and more. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

It could be a one time thing, in that case there is no need to worry about it, but if he continues vomiting then he is probably suffering from a gastrointestinal condition and will need to be seen by an avian vet ASAP.
